Oscar Ultimate Using FieldGenius to Tilt Survey

The latest released version of FieldGenius data collection software already fully supports connecting Oscar Ultimate from Tersus for tilt measurement. This article will describe the operation steps of tilt measurement using FieldGenius and Oscar Ultimate. You can download the latest version of FieldGenius-v10.4.1.0 at https://helpdesk.microsurvey.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/307/146, and if you have other questions, you can consult Tersus after-sales technical support. 

When the latest version of FieldGenius has been installed on your handheld device, open the software and select the Make as Tersus and the Model as Oscar Ultimate when selecting the receiver to connect. Please note that when using FieldGenius to connect Oscar Advanced or Oscar Basic, select Oscar only; however when you need to perform tilt survey and tilt stakeout, you should choose Oscar Ultimate, its built-in IMU module will output tilt data to achieve high-precision measurement after tilt.


After completing the connection of the Oscar Ultimate and configuring the correction data, Oscar Ultimate has been RTK fixed as a rover. Click the [Instrument Settings] button at this time, and click [Tilt Correction] to configure the IMU.

There are three modes to choose from Tilt Mode in the [Tilt Correction] settings. When the IMU is selected, the compensation correction during the tilt measurement is performed through the IMU. You can check Tilt Rejection and set a value, which is not necessary. The Oscar Ultimate is only 2cm error within 30 degrees tilt angle, and the maximum error is only 3.5cm at the tilt angle of 60 degrees.


Click [Close] to close the settings and return to Map View. Observe the tilt light on the Oscar Ultimate panel to confirm that the tilt compensation function has been enabled. When you move to the point to be measured, the tilt light on the panel shows steady green. At this time, enjoy the convenience of tilt survey or tilt stakeout.

If you select Inclinometer in Tilt Mode, it refers to the tilt measurement using the built-in electronic tilt bubble of Oscar Ultimate, which is a more traditional tilt measurement. After selecting this mode, make sure that the electronic tilt bubble has been calibrated.


Back to Map View, select [Tilt Offset Measurement] in the GNSS Measurement Modes and then measure points in two or three tilted directions respectively. The software will automatically take the angle of tilt and the current pole length as the radius, and take the phase center of the two or three measurement points as the center of the circle to get the coordinate of the pole tip.

Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement

  Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement Tips for earthwork measurement under different circumstances with Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA APP Earthwork calculations are essential in many survey projects, but the complexity of measurement and calculations causes many new engineers headaches. In general, earthwork calculation is divided into two parts: excavation and filling, which can also be simply understood as volume and capacity calculation. The following are the Tips for using the Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA App for earthwork measurement under different circumstances. The powerful earthwork calculation function of the NUWA app can calculate the result and quickly; you only need to import the survey points and then input the reference altitude. Notes for measurement: When measuring points, we should measure as many points on the surface of the object as possible. The density of survey points needs to be strengthened in places where the terrain changes sig...

Introduction of Nuwa APP's location share function

Today we are going to introduce the Nuwa APP's location share function. It can share the centimeter-level accuracy coordinates obtained from Tersus receiver to other android apps. The following introduction takes a map app as an example. 1. Turn off GPS location on an android device and turn on airplane mode, open a map app and it cannot display any positioning results at this time. 2. Launch Nuwa app, connect a Tersus GNSS receiver, configure the receiver to receive satellite signals and correction data, and ensure the solution status is fixed and high-precision coordinates are displayed. 3. Under the submenu Project -> Settings, turn on [Location Sharing]. 4. After turning on this function, it will automatically jump to the android system setting interface. Find ‘Select mock location app’, click and select Nuwa. 5. Open the map app, it displays the positioning result at this time. Actually this positioning result is the high-precision positioning result of the Tersus receiver ...
